In August 2025, the company signed a cooperation agreement with Angola's Ministry of Energy and Water to develop a seawater desalination plant. The planned facility is expected to have a capacity of 100,000 cubic meters per day and to provide water to the Mussulo Peninsula and the neighboring Futungo district, serving an estimated population of more than 800,000 people.^[49]

In 2019, as part of the agreement, Abydos Solar Power Company (ASPC), a wholly owned subsidiary of AMEA Power, was designated to build, own, and operate a 200 MW solar power project in the Kom Ombo region of Aswan.^[6] The International Finance Corporation, along with the Dutch Entrepreneurial Development Bank and the Japan International Cooperation Agency, financed the PV project.^[50][51][52]

In September 2024, the company was awarded two major projects in Egypt: a 1,000 MW solar plant with a 600 MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) and a 300 MWh expansion of the Abydos solar plant.^[53][54]

In December 2023, a MoU was signed for the expansion of the plant by 30 MW, including the addition of a BESS with a minimum capacity of 10 MWh.^[55]
